Chapter 790 The Truth About the Grand Sacrifice
It took a while for Zhang Haoming to get up from the ground.
He quickly followed the others to watch the excitement and see what was going on. After all, farmers are the slowest, but also the most keen.
They have no sense of the upcoming disasters in the future and are short-sighted. Even if it is an upcoming war, they cannot smell the smoke of gunpowder at all. They only think that it is still early.
But correspondingly, they are extremely sensitive to what is coming in the next minute, and it can even be said to be at the level of the sixth sense. For example, they are being underestimated when buying something, someone is taking advantage of them, trying to deceive them, etc., they are all Have extremely strong perception ability.
Rat eyes are short-sighted. Although they cannot see the distance, they are very aware of the short-sighted place at the moment.
Therefore, after some communication among various farmers, everyone quickly pieced together a blueprint of the matter from the information they knew.
The process of putting it together is also very interesting. Your family saw the light, my family saw the color of the light, and his family saw where it fell.
With your words and my words, I managed to piece together the truth.
The truth is very simple. A swordsman just came. The sword fell and killed the landlord's family, leaving behind a line of big words: "All bonds will be burned, and all deeds will be cancelled."
The so-called human contract is actually a contract to sell one's body. Farmers are accustomed to selling their children to wealthy families. Sometimes this is not even regarded as tragic, but rather an honor.
This is the case in the Baiyue Zone, and everyone has become accustomed to it.
The farmers cheered for joy. They didn't care about anything else. Whether the bonds were eliminated or not was a matter for later.
The top priority is obviously...grab it!
The landlord's whole family is dead. This must be a robbery for money, food, tables, chairs and benches, whatever is available!
But I saw that many farmers fell into madness after being tested and found out that they were indeed dead.
Floors, windows, vases, even clothes, cloths, curtains, all kinds of furniture and decorations from dead people, no matter what they had or didn't have, whether they were needed or not, they were all moved home desperately.
The smarter ones, on the other hand, did not move these large and difficult items. They went straight to the kitchen to carry the spices, salt, pots, bacon and salted fish, basket after basket, and poured them into their own baskets.
They rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and even broke into the woman's boudoir, snatched the ignorant landlord's girl out of the boudoir, and then began to plunder the boudoir.
Even the erotica at the bottom of the box was blown away.
On the contrary, the young lady looked confused and tried to stop her, but she was knocked to the ground by the farmers with two fists. She cried incessantly. Then she was seen by a few rough men and she even wanted to move her away. But they couldn't reach an agreement, and they started to quarrel, and it seemed that they were going to fight.
However, they also know that arguing for one second at this moment is a waste of one second of opportunity to make money. They quickly shelve the dispute, put their daughter down, and hurry up to move a few more valuable items.
Although this girl is white, she is not very beautiful. She is better than the village woman, but not much better. After all, the landlord does not dare to say that all the daughters he gives birth to are beauties. It is good to make her skin whiter. .
A farce, a...shameless robbery.
Did the cultivator who brought down his sword to kill the landlord's family with 'justice' in mind, have expected this moment?
The farmers are very pitiful, bullied and exploited.
However, when farmers have the ability to resist, they will bully others unscrupulously just like the original landlords.
Because, essentially, landlords and farmers are the same type of people.
An unethical person.
When they have power, they will bully others, and when they have no power, they will just let others bully them, for no reason, because this is the law of nature, the jungle of the jungle eats the strong.
From a humanistic point of view, they are not 'human beings', they are just regarded as a moving tool, which can use itself, or give itself to the landlords to use, and become long-term workers or tenant farmers. The landlords use their wages to Pay him interest in the name.
Human beings are no longer human beings. They have been alienated into pigs and sheep, or hammers and hoes. They are livestock and tools. They have been alienated into means of production. They are not human beings in their own social relationships.
Therefore, they do not regard themselves as human beings.
When they are weak, they will be dominated by the strong and become tools. At this time, they will become tame and become tools.
When they are strong, they will become predatory beasts, preying on weaker tools, pigs and sheep, making themselves stronger and fuller.
They have no other aspirations.
The extreme inequality caused by this "worldly world", which treats most people as non-human beings, is not only a moral problem, it is also an economic problem.
Because a large number of laborers are bound to the countryside by this production relationship, that is, the "Tao", to the land of landlords and officials, and to this world, so that they can only reincarnate endlessly.
They are originally the most important foundation for all behaviors. They can support low-quality practitioners, and high-quality practitioners can appear from low-quality practitioners. Although high-quality practitioners have the ability to self-sustain and can survive without them, What I have to admit is that this is how the first high-quality practitioners were born.
However, they cannot get education and no one gives them freedom. They can only be immersed in this reincarnation for eternity.
From an economic perspective, the lower classes were treated as vassals of the nobles and merchants, and were tradable goods, rather than free laborers, which greatly limited their productivity.
If the economy really wants to take off, it needs to turn these "tools" into "people" so that they have full subjective initiative.
This is also what Li Qi and the Devouring Heaven Demon Lord promised. He will open schools in Baiyue, enlighten the people, and preach to develop the war potential of Baiyue.
However, the rulers of Baiyue will definitely not be happy to see this. If Li Qi directly pushes forward, it will be equivalent to cutting off their foundation of Taoism, and they will make a fuss.
Although it is not impossible to suppress them by force, if you do so, it may provoke resistance, which will weaken yourself.
If you want to shut up the rulers of Baiyue, you have to find a reason to scare them.
In order to do this...
Li Qi gave up a great sacrifice node.
That's right, the great sacrifice node was given up by Li Qi on his own initiative.
With Li Qi's ability, how could he lose the great sacrifice node? He only needs to take medicine and then force the node to start the grand sacrifice directly, without the need for the Baiyue lords to fight for their lives.
However, he did it on purpose, and even Shen Shuibi didn't know about this plan.
Sending away Songguo gave the Baiyue lords a goal, a goal they must unite. They are all in danger at the moment. If the grand sacrifice node cannot be taken, it will be a dead end for them.
Facing the threat of death, it seems that there is no problem to temporarily move the foundation of Taoism. After all, it is all for winning. If you don't win, you will die.
And... killing the Lord of Lingxiao is a reminder to them.
In addition, the human army is pressing on the border, and the grand sacrifice cannot be started. All these things are forcing these lords to compromise.
Therefore, Li Qi can free up his hands to do this.
He wants to re-establish the social mechanism of Baiyue, redistribute production capacity, and make Baiyue completely different, so as to overwhelm humanity.
Li Qi has drawn the power of the Chamber of Commerce for this purpose. Now there is a team of seventh-grade and eighth-grade people wandering around Baiyue, tearing up the original grassroots order.
Because Li Qi knew that the current human world... was actually quite empty inside.
Previously, in the battle between the human world and the witch world in the battlefield outside the domain, Li Qi had dealt with Liu Junyi.
At that time, the human world directly folded the city and teleported it to the battlefield through the fast universe.
Li Qi still remembered that the city he faced was called 'Gansong'. (See Chapter 585 for details)
The city assembled by all magic weapons has such a function. When needed, Jintai can quickly teleport these cities to the strategic locations where they should go. The city will immediately become a fortress, and the citizens can be armed and become an iron army.
The cities on the land were dismantled and distributed to various places as war hubs. This is what the human world does.
This can easily create a large number of war hubs. After all, the cities of the human world are very strong.
But correspondingly, the land will naturally become a wasteland.
The cities were all demolished and teleported away, and the central hinterland of the world, the remaining places were naturally deserted.
The South Xinjiang that he had to face was not a South Xinjiang with perfect logistics, backed by the hinterland of humanity, and endless support, but a South Xinjiang that was fighting alone and difficult to support from other places.
Even if humanity had great abilities, it would probably not be able to spare any hands to support South Xinjiang when wars were going on all sides, and even most of the forces of Zhennan Prefecture itself were probably not there.
Just like Li Qi's current situation, although Li Qi was in the world, he could not get support from the witches.
Everyone's main forces were concentrated on the battlefield outside the domain, and they were actually quite empty behind them.
So, in this case, it was natural to explore their own war potential.
Everything was logical.
And these massacres were also instructed by Li Qi.
Now, there are many direct forces from the Li Qi Chamber of Commerce that are clearing out the cancer at the grassroots level, these landlords.
The next step will be to settle accounts with these farmers.
Although farmers can become very brutal in some situations, they are actually very easy to control. As long as they are allowed to commit a crime and know that they have committed a crime, and then they are punished, they will listen to everything.
They dare not go against the "worldly way". As long as they are dealt with in the way of the world, they dare not resist no matter what they do. Even if their homes are confiscated and their families are exterminated, they will only resent themselves.
As expected, after a while, Zhang Haoming and his men were caught by the officials who came.
What awaits them will be complete dispersion.
That's right, Li Qi wants to break up all grassroots organizations, shut up all the heads of state in an extremely rough way, and then dismantle all existing grassroots organizations and reorganize them.
The reorganized grassroots will quickly advance to the level that a higher level should be, and will be in place in one step.
Normal reforms will never be so rough and big. Although this will take effect quickly, it will also have great side effects, such as treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and causing huge unrest.
This kind of reform does not essentially change the conservative and unchanging overall system, but simply provokes the objective situation that is changing and stirring, and completely detonates the remnant that can still be safe on the surface for a while. Once it breaks out, it will make it more violent than the normal internal changes.
However, in reality, all the changes had been brewing and developing in secret even if no one triggered them, and they would eventually break out. Li Qi just gave it a push.
The conservative rulers made the difficulties and crises encountered by feudal autocracy increasingly deepened, and at the same time, it weakened its subjective power, the will and power within the ruling group could not be unified, and the internal contradictions and disputes expanded.
In the past, these resistances were suppressed by the personal power of the rulers, but now during the war, the rulers are outside, what should they do if they can't suppress them?
All kinds of changes, all kinds of resistance, and the struggle with the efforts of conservative forces, all of which not only failed to achieve the effect of reform, but increased the disorder within the ruling group.
No matter how drastic the changes are, in essence, they have not fundamentally ended the feudal era that has lasted for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. After the changes, the social order of the feudal era is still established.
After all the changes, the "world" created by the rulers has not changed.
So the rulers don't care at all. Those nobles and landlords are actually changing one after another. In the eyes of the rulers of Baiyue, these are all part of the natural cycle.
The old landlords fell, and the new landlords stood up again on the same economic basis.
But... it's different now.
Li Qi suppressed the kings and even the conservative forces.
At this time, they really encountered an unprecedented situation.
They were facing a great change that had never happened in hundreds of thousands of years. Although they did not understand the nature and significance of this change, they only needed to know... this time, there was really a fourth-grade great power who wanted to make up his mind to reorganize Baiyue.
This was indeed a great change that had never happened in ancient times. From then on, any attempt to restore the social order and political system of the feudal era could not raise its head. Under Li Qi's absolute violence, the front of history rumbled forward, leaving the old era behind and producing new things.
Zhang Xu, Bai Di, Zhang Haoming, and many other kings, various reinforcements, all kinds of people, and even those masters drawn from outside the domain by Li Qi's Chamber of Commerce, will join in.
Shen Shuibi and the kings of Baiyue resisted humanity outside, and the half-crippled Li Qi was inside, rectifying the entire Baiyue.
Because... this grand sacrifice is not just for humanity.
Li Qi had planned all this from the beginning.
This grand ceremony will be even more grand. (End of this chapter)
